I’ve returned to playing for pre-patch and have noticed a server merger has occured between different Langauge servers…
Having raised this issue in game, the very polite reply was that for Customer Service point of view nothing can be done.
I would like to highlight the issue here, tiny English speaking servers (Al Akir / Skullcrusher / Xavius) merged with a huge Polish speaking server (Burning Legion) has not worked.
I cannot understand /1 or /2 any longer as it’s in Polish, getting groups, pugs and raids are also tricky to difficult, and also those advertising for such groups in Polish will not get replies from English speakers as we don’t understand.
I would suggest:
De-merge Al Akir / Skullcrusher / Xavius from Burning Legion
and
Merge Al Akir / Skullcrusher / Xavius to another cluster of English speaking realms.
Come on Blizzard, please have a look into this, it’s just not fair to expect us to pay € / £ x 100 to move our characters to be able to understand global channels.
It’s a problem. Does it make a server “unplayable”? That’s arguable. But I knew someone who was trapped in this way, and who felt their only option, in the end, was to transfer.
I’m pretty sure the Americans have problems with the concept of different languages and if you don’t speak English then you must be from some third world country that has no Internet.
A Samual Jackson quote from Pulp Fiction comes to mind, but I’d probably be banned for using it.
I’m not keen on spending money for a problem that Blizzard made via server merger. I don’t wish our Polish brothers and sisters any ill will, I just can’t speak Polish thus I’d prefer to de-merge.
Hey, this is just about Blizzard not being sensitive to the needs of the Burning Legion server community and the needs of the English speaking community. We want the same things, just to be able to enjoy the game and chat as we see fit.
The crux of the issue is that this makes the server not viable to recruit guildies or join a guild…which if you’re a raider is quite critical. These aren’t doctored images, this is average for trade (less boosting adverts).
The problem is that it’s an ‘English’ realm. I’m afraid I can’t see them ‘de-merging’ as you put it. We had hoped more realms would be added in, bolstering the English speaking population.
The programme seems to have stopped and we don’t know if it’s over or whether it will start up again.
You could wait it out and see if things improve or start over on an other realm. Either via transfer or simply taking advantage of the new faster levelling.
They did something similar with a server I used to play on during MoP called Grim Batol, they somehow thought it was a good idea to merge it with Aggra which was a Portuguese server and after the merger people got annoyed for not speaking English/Portuguese.
6 years after the fact it still hasn’t been reverted, most English players migrated away from the server due to it.
blizzard is an american company. americans think they have freedom and the rest of the world is the same 3rd world country. im not sure they even know the existence of language.
